five or six hours longer. They were all
found in No. level. They had come as

cavein and the air bad. They then set to
work with picks and shovels and barri-
caded a passage to shut out the after-damp.
They returned to the fire shaft, where the
fire-damp had caught them and all sue
cumbed. They had tried to barricade this
passage also, but did not succeed very we'll.

is insisting that the contractor go ten feet

DISCUSSED THEIR GRIEVANCES.
Convention of the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway Employees.

READING, Pa, May 9.-The convention of
the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
employees, representing fifty Knights of
Labor Assemblies between Philadelphia
and the coal regions, adjourned after mid
night last night. The most important
matter discussed was the grievances of the
miners and the relations existing between
the Miners and Laborers' AmaIgamated
Association and the knights of Labor.
The meeting refused to give Endorsement
TO the strike in the coal regions, proposed
by the Miners and LaboreTs' Amalgamated
Association, contending that there must be
union of all bodies before a strike can be
inaugurated, or, in other words, that the
members of the Miners and Laborers'
Amalgamated Association must first join
the Knights of Labor before they can re-
ceive the support of the latter body. This
decision will, it is believed, result IN a
postponement of threatened strikes in the
coal regions, as no other meeting of these
assemblies will be held until August.
